I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! I've seen the lead singer in some amazing outfits at festivals. She definitely marches to her own tune.
Inspired by them, here's a recommendation for music to listen to when you are lying down in a field (or in the bath with a glass of wine if no fields are available).
James Blake
His first album has just come out. He does ambient music with a bit of dubby vibe. He lost out to Jessie J for the BBC's Sound of 2011 pick and also the Critic's Choice award at the Brits this year.

Thanks! I've snuck in the back way rather than the daily news thread. |

My iPod is always on shuffle and this song just came on by the Shins. It always seems to brighten my mood.

What a treasure trove of different kinds of music in this thread! I've downloaded numerous selections, some great voices and some really interesting voices too. For me it's usually about the voice first and foremost, whether it be a great voice or an interesting one. My first stanning was also an Idol contestant, the winner of Canadian Idol Season 2 Kalan Porter. Initially quite successful with album #1. He took a break between album 1 and 2 when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and was much less successful with album #2. It's always harder in Canada without the major tv talk shows exposure etc. He's since run into some troubles with a producer and lost a bunch of material, but is apparently recording now in LA (apparently he was at one of this year's AMA parties!) Very different from Adam as far as stage persona, rather akward and still shy, but also majorly talented, also plays multiple instruments He showed up recently to sing with an indie artist Emm Gryner in Ontario www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaOzbg1erFE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL One More Try From his last concert tour 2008 for the Wake Up Living album www.youtube.com/user/CindyOBG#p/u/26/hJE8dtcAW5kSingle www.youtube.com/user/CindyOBG#p/u/31/5rQbnHRwvYw |

My second favorite singer next to Adam: Amos Lee. Bluesy/rock, with the occasional country vibe thrown in. He's my go to guy when I really want to relax or destress. I'm in love with his current album, Mission Bell, but also still listen all the time to his debut, Amos Lee. Here's a live performance of Arms of a Woman from the debut album:
And for Paul Simon - my favorite album is Still Crazy After All These Years.
